PDO_Firebird: Set session timezone in connection properties

[sim1984]

This feature allows you to set the session time zone when connecting to the database. An alternative is to set the time zone after the connection is established using the query:

$dbh->exec("SET TIME ZONE '$timezone'");

Sorry for the late reply, @sim1984! It's just that especially during beta stage php-src developers are usually very busy catching up on some unfinished work, and on doing general QA. New, even small, feature suggestions may unfortunately fall through the cracks, particularly since they would require explicit release manager approval so shortly prior to feature freeze (aka. RC stage).

Generally, I think this feature makes sense, but it might better be postponed to PHP next (8.5 or 9.0, whatever it will be). Feel free to re-open the PR – hopefully someone can have a closer look during the coming weeks.

@sim1984 Could you re-open the pr for the next version of php ?

Then @cmb69 could merge it

Ok
